SHAUN DIRKS,

Civ. No. 3:15-cv-01600-TC

v.
OPINION and ORDER
CAROLYN W. COLVIN
SOCIAL SECURITY COMMISSIONER,
Defendant.
_____________________________

MCSHANE, Judge:
Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Coffin filed a Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 19),
and the matter is now before this court. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), Fed. R. Civ. P. 72.
Although neither party filed objections, I reviewed the legal principles de novo. United States v.
Bernhardt, 840 F.2d 1441, 1445 (9th Cir. 1998). See also Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School
Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). I find no error and conclude it is correct.
1 – OPINION AND ORDER

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, Magistrate Judge Coffin’s Report and
Recommendation (ECF No. 19) is ADOPTED in its entirety. Accordingly, the decision of the
Commissioner of the Social Security Administration is AFFIRMED because the decision that
Plaintiff is not disabled was supported by substantial evidence in the record. The Clerk of the
Court is ordered to enter a judgment dismissing this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED this 2nd day of February, 2017.
